Multifunctional GelMA platforms with Hybrid hydrogel

Polymer hydrogels, 3D scaffolds for tissue adjustment and delivery systems for therapeutic molecules and cells, are a fascinating platform. For example, GelMA methacrylate has become a representative hydrogel preparation and has wide-ranging applications in biomedicine. Recent research on GelMA-based hydrogels has focused on combining them with other things is a helpful way to make GelMA better for some uses, such as carbon nanotubes (CNT), graphene oxide (GO), tiny particles from minerals, other natural materials, and man-made materials, aiming to provide GelMA with enhanced biological properties and physicochemical. The benefits of this approach are manifold: i) change the electrical conductivity and simulate the propagation of electrical signals, present electrical/magnetic properties to generate for repair of specific tissues, ii) promote bone cell growth without specific growth factors, and iii) can closely mimic the natural tissue environment. iv) Facilitates tissue culture and drug delivery. The method utilized in GelMA can also be applied to other existing polymer hydrogel systems.
